My wife and I went to see this when it first hit theaters. I'm not sure why, but it was probably because I still had a high opinion of Jon Lovitz at the time--I think this was during his heyday on Saturday Night Live when his liar character Tommy Flanagan, the "acting!" guy, and other such skits were at the height of their popularity.

To be honest, I can't really comment much on this film. The reason for that is that both my wife and I fell asleep during it, right in the middle of the theater! That's unheard of for us. It stands out as one of the most miserable theater-going experiences I've ever had. I was shocked to see all the positive reviews of this film here on imdb, so I felt I had to offer an opposing view even though I can't really talk specifics about the film since it put me into a coma.
